The difference is that Barca will overplay and probably destroy half their young talent with injuries. Whereas Madrid has been sustainably run and they’ll be able to manage their squad better. To think that at the very least they’ll be adding...

At the end off last season I was all about giving him another year. I supported his signings in the summer because although there were potentially some issues with it, I also felt he had a clear and decisive plan. But going back about four months...

Am I the only one that thinks that playing out from the back has just gone too far and is a completely pointless risk about 50-60% of the time? Most teams end up hoofing it anyway.

Jackson and Madueke are both fecking terrible.

Ed Skrein’s body fat is so low, and usually it’s something I’d admire. Yet, because he doesn’t have much mass, and due to his very angular features and narrow frame, he instead looks like one of those Body Worlds exhibits come to life. It’s super...

I don't underrate Vidic. I am a huge fan. He was brilliant. He's my third choice CB, as you can see from my bench. And I agree that he did it longer than Stam, not least because Jaap suffered a horrific injury. He also didn't have a brilliant...

Exactly right. Messi was that one player that could disrupt any system by beating opponents at will and destroying defensive shapes. Without Messi, I doubt that team would've won even half of what they did. You can see it in all his subsequent teams.

This hits the nails on the head. 1. Doping....He doped as a player, has had a long time association with Ramon Segura, the godfather of modern sports doping. There a lot of unproven, but legitimate question marks over the doping of his...

West Ham fans are indeed weird. They somehow think they are better than Moyes, who has them performing and competing at their best level in a really long time. Wouldn't be surprised if they end up letting him go, with delusions of grandeur, only...

Players I've actually seen play: Schmeichel Neville - - - - - - - Ferdinand - - - - - - - Stam - - - - - - - - Irwin Keane - - - - - - Scholes Ronaldo - - - - - - - - - - - Cantona - - - - - - - - - - - - - Giggs Rooney Subs: Van der Sar...

I’ll be supporting Bayern all the way now. Kane deserves a big trophy. Madrid have won it enough, PSG can feck right off, and Dortmund - well it’d be an underdog story and up until about 3/4 years ago I’d have been cheering them on, but our...

Not really. It was only until very recently that EPO was even detectable. And even now it’s fairly easy to work around from what I understand. And that assumes that doping has stood still. One thing we know about the history of doping is that it...

Hahahahahaha feck off City. feck off Pep. Hahahahahaha.

Do Madrid have less players on the field? Jeez. Hard to watch City ball hog so much. They are so well drilled it’s crazy, but so incredibly boring to watch. It’s also been repeated many times, and a bit of a cliche to say it again, but these...

He was pretty terrible over both legs. Barcola and Dembele were both class tonight though. He’ll tear it up at Madrid, no doubt, but over these two games he was rubbish. Annoying because on Paramount+ Micah Richard’s and co are going nuts about...
